**Language** me really, EWM know how to charge.

 

[Hood]

Aye, got a bit of discount but still a big chunk of money.

How much is a push/pull from Lorch? I can’t imagine they’re more than £1500+VAT

No idea, don't have a Lorch welder so...
I think the nano feeders are well north of your quoted price, in fact I have one I could sell you if you want

 

[Hood]

This is what a standard torch of similar functionality is (list price) so the push pull bit is the expensive bit.

The EWM Push Pull torches are actually made by Autogen-Ritter

Technically I've had this a few years, only today sorting out my bits of steel did I notice someone has written tool steel on it

I have a few lengths of the same bar but only this one has it written on

Crap picture sorry

List price maybe but they wouldn’t sell any if they’re more than that, because you’d be competing against Kemppi, any they’re super snake is the industry standard for some reason.

No idea if I am honest, the nano feeder is actually a Mechafin feeder but again no idea of prices. Not sure is the super snake has an encoder motor or not but if I recall they are larger diameter than the mechafin/Lorch Nano.

if I remember correctly you need a Lorch with a card in it to run the nano feeder don’t you.

I think so, I seem to remember when talking to @matt1978 that it could be added but at what cost I have no idea.

Cheers fella.
I think looking at a few posts, if I do replace my current compressor I may run 25mm alcathene (sp?) water pipe and some compression fittings as the materials for the main run will be cheap enough. Alcathene is only £33 for 50m. I'm sure that will cope well enough with 10 bar of air.
Anyone have an opinion?

Alkathene thick wall, probably the 25mm you mention, is thick enough.
The thin wall stuff, I woudn't particularly trust, but doubtless some use it.

 

[matt1978]

You need to have a modified PCB in the feeder to run a push pull or Nano as this provides the power to the motor and also synchronises the push and pull motors.

I wish I had of known I have both of those Autogen ritters in my demo stock which I’m looking to sell off before year end

 

[Farside]

Technically acquired today, but not received yet.
A pair of Hardly Showa air shocks from a Road Fat Bloke or somesuch.
They'll fit nicely on the XS, which is currently sporting a knackered old pair of Suzuki shocks that only serve to keep the wheel from rubbing the mudguard; they're not much cop as suspension.
That will be three bikes with air shocks, and if the XJ shocks blow out, I'll replace them with another pair of these. Excellent suspension for dirt cheap money.

I bet Robin also wishes he had known!!

Hard to put a price on these things because they can absolutely transform how you work, especially on boats.

Ha ha typical, then again it is the control panel with the 4 buttons and LCD screen I need as well.

I just looked on my stock list, they are actually the 450 amp water-cooled versions with the uprated Maxon motor, so not the same

Acetal, good mix of long and short bits
Two simonds 100mm files.

I wanted to know my heart rate while I'm running, not just when I get back and check Strava, this does that and much more.

Today I acquired a gurt rusty radial arm drill I think I have caught spenceritis
